How Long Should I Wait To Get My Clothes Dry Cleaned?

How do you decide when a trip to the dry cleaners is needed? At White Star Dry Cleaner, our general suggestion is after 1-3 wears. If the item has been touching your skin all day it could use a spot clean in between wears. Typically clothes that state ‘dry clean only’ can last a few wears before it needs to be dry cleaned, unless they have a strong odor or are wrinkled. Below is a guide provided by White Star Dry Cleaner that can help you determine when to come see us.

Some may think dry cleaning actually means what it says and no liquid is added to clean the clothes and household items. Professional dry-cleaning does involve the clothes getting washed in liquid, but not the detergent used at home, we use specific liquids to wash the items.
